We’re tracking 1,365 recruiting cancer studies with a site in New York — including Early Phase 1, Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2, Phase 2, Phase 2/Phase 3 and Phase 3 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in New York
- NCT05659381RecruitingPhase 3
Heated belly chemo plus niraparib after interval surgery for ovarian cancer
This Phase 3 study tests whether heated chemotherapy placed inside the belly, followed by interval surgery and the maintenance medicine niraparib, can improve outcomes for certain advanced ovarian, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancers. It focuses on people whose tumors are HRD/LOH positive and who can have all visible disease removed.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05837767Recruiting
Radiation study for tumors that spread to soft tissue areas
This study looks at how a planned form of palliative radiation therapy treats certain solid cancers that have spread outside the brain to larger soft-tissue areas. It may help shrink tumors and relieve symptoms, but it also asks you to meet specific safety and treatment-timing rules.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05867251RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
AVZO-021 for advanced breast and ovarian cancers
This early-stage study tests AVZO-021, a new anti-cancer medicine, in people with advanced solid tumors like specific types of breast and ovarian (or related) cancers. It’s meant to find the safest dose and look for signs the medicine can shrink tumors, especially in cancers with certain gene changes.
Mineola, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06246968RecruitingPhase 1
Pembrolizumab and Cryoablation for Breast Cancer
This trial is testing a combination of a freezing procedure (cryoablation) and an immunotherapy drug called pembrolizumab (Keytruda) for people with triple-negative breast cancer that has spread. The goal is to see if freezing the tumor helps the immune system fight the cancer better.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05281471RecruitingPhase 3
Tested drug for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer with bevacizumab
This Phase 3 trial tests a treatment made of an investigational gene-based drug plus standard “platinum” chemotherapy and bevacizumab, compared with standard chemotherapy and bevacizumab. It’s for ovarian/fallopian tube/primary peritoneal cancers that have not responded to platinum chemotherapy or came back quickly.
Stony Brook, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT01042379RecruitingPhase 2
Adaptive drug trial for newly diagnosed breast cancer
This study tests personalized, changing treatment plans (given before surgery) to find better options for your specific breast tumor. You may be asked for extra breast-tissue testing to help match you with the most suitable study drug(s).
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07391774RecruitingPhase 3
Hormone therapy with or without chemo for early breast cancer
This trial tests whether skipping chemotherapy and using only hormone therapy with a drug called ribociclib works as well as chemotherapy followed by hormone therapy with ribociclib for certain early breast cancers that have a low risk of coming back.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06498635RecruitingPhase 3
Immunotherapy after surgery for lung cancer with no remaining cancer
This trial tests whether giving immunotherapy (durvalumab) after surgery can help prevent lung cancer from coming back if you already had a complete response to chemo and immunotherapy before surgery. It is for people with early-stage non-small cell lung cancer who had no cancer left after treatment.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05136196RecruitingPhase 2
Cabozantinib plus nivolumab for advanced melanoma or head-neck cancer
This trial tests whether combining two immunotherapy medicines—cabozantinib and nivolumab—can shrink advanced melanoma or certain head-and-neck squamous cell cancers. It is mainly for people whose cancer has grown after prior PD-1 treatment.
Lake Success, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05929768RecruitingPhase 3
Shorter chemo plus immunotherapy without anthracyclines for early TNBC
This Phase 3 trial tests whether a shorter course of chemotherapy plus immunotherapy can work as well as standard treatment for early-stage triple-negative breast cancer. It avoids anthracycline drugs and may help reduce exposure to those medicines if the shorter plan is effective and safe.
Valley Stream, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07646847Recruiting
A support program for people with cancer on immunotherapy
This study tests a program that helps people with cancer manage side effects and find resources for needs like food, transportation, or housing. It is for patients who are starting or recently started immunotherapy for certain cancers.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04722523RecruitingPhase 1
Cemiplimab plus chemo and other immune treatment for head and neck cancer
This Phase 1 trial tests how well cemiplimab (an immune treatment) can work when combined with chemotherapy and an additional immunotherapy for certain head and neck cancers. It may help shrink the cancer and improve outcomes, while also checking safety and dosing.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04683679RecruitingPhase 2
Radiation plus pembrolizumab and olaparib for certain breast cancers
This study tests whether adding the drugs pembrolizumab and olaparib (or similar “radiosensitizers”) to radiation can improve outcomes for women with advanced breast cancer that is triple-negative or ER-positive/Her2-negative. It’s designed for cancers that have spread or come back and where radiation is being considered to control disease.
Uniondale, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT04787744RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Test standard prostate cancer treatment with or without targeted spot radiation
This study tests whether adding targeted local treatment (like radiation to a few spots seen on scans) improves outcomes for some people with limited (oligometastatic) prostate cancer. It compares standard systemic therapy alone versus standard therapy plus PET-scan–guided spot treatment.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05051722Recruiting
Test DNA blood and tissue markers to detect gynecologic cancers
This study looks for “methylated DNA markers” (special DNA patterns) to help detect endometrial, ovarian, and cervical cancers, and to support doctors around planned procedures. It may help find cancer earlier or better sort out who needs closer treatment.
Howard Beach, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05053230Recruiting
At-home integrative program for people living with cancer
This study tests an at-home integrative medicine program (supportive, whole-person care) to see if it helps symptoms like fatigue for people affected by cancer. You may be assigned to the program or a comparison group, and you’ll complete questionnaires and study check-ins from home.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05508906RecruitingPhase 1
Test drug OP-1250 with other medicines in ER-positive breast cancer
This Phase 1b study tests OP-1250 (palazestrant) combined with other targeted medicines for ER-positive, HER2-negative advanced or metastatic breast cancer. It mainly looks at safety and correct dosing, but may also help shrink tumors or slow growth.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05534438RecruitingPhase 2
Tested targeted radiation plus usual drug treatment in metastatic breast cancer
This Phase 2 study tests whether adding a very focused type of radiation to standard drug treatment can better control metastatic breast cancer. It is for people whose cancer is only progressing in one spot, seen on a PET scan.
Commack, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT05735080RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
INX-315 for advanced cancers with a specific gene change
This trial studies an experimental medicine (INX-315) given in an “open-label” way to people with advanced cancer that has not responded to prior treatment. It mainly looks at safety and side effects first, and also checks how well it works in cancers with a specific gene amplification.
Buffalo, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT06037954Recruiting
Mental health support for older adults with cancer
This study offers mental health care for older adults (65+) with breast, colorectal, lung, or prostate cancer who are getting treatment or recently finished. It aims to help people who are also feeling depressed.
New York, New YorkAges 65 years+ - NCT06220214RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Study of chemo before breast cancer surgery with special mammogram

What taking part in a cancer study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
